Hello, I'm working on a new PC on Windows XP SP3. Everything works fine when installing.

TOO MUCH CPU! VIRUS??? MALWARE???
by Guest Pikey- 6 replies

Hi, I always found good help--and stern advice, so I thought I would bring this by you guys and see what happens. Now, I'm trying to figure out what happened exactly--if I installed something or what, but it seems whenever I play a video file or a music file, it requires a lot of CPU usuage. It always goes to 100%--and it kind of stays at 100%. Everytime. So when I'm watching a video, the video kinds of plays slowly, or it doesn't stream well. Hell, I can't even watch youtube, but it will load fine enough, but won't play clearly as it always has. I turned off the computer for a night and when I turned it back on--I ran AdAware, SpyBlaster and my usual viru…

Add or Remove Programs
by Guest Stu- 2 replies
- 189 views
I have a strange problem. In my Control Panel, I have two listings of "Add or Remove Programs". One does nothing at all when opened, the other opens, but there NO programs listed. Also, If I try to use Windows Update, it never finds Windows Site, I have to ctrl, alt, del and end the program. I ran a virus scan (Norton with the newest defs), nothing. Everything else on the internet works. What can I do to correctthis problem? I was thinking of reloading XP, but then I'd have to go through all the service pack updates, etc. and I don't know if even that will fix the problem. Has anyone ever heard of this? If it matters, I'm using IE 6.0.

Several files with names like CA6Z8TYN with attribute HSA and size 0 kB have appeared on my drive. Unable to delete them. Attrib -H -S CA6Z8TYN simply gets File not found. They foul up backups as XP ain’t smart enough to ask „Do you want to skip this file?“ but just grinds the copy to a standstill. How to get rid of them?

I got a set of discs from a friend who burned them for me . It's a series I wanted . She sent them to me and I can't play them or view them in windows explorer. Although my cd-dvd drive is about four yrs old it still plays games and music cds. Was wondering if the discs she sent were ripped in a different format that my drive can't read. I have Win DVD and windows media player, and neither of these recongizes the disc. they don't auto-play.

font format problems

If I select plain view when composing a message like this one, this is what I see (bold text) in the compose window. If I select rich text, the font is normal but I am unable to send the message. Also, how can I change the font size when viewing anything in MS Windows XP. Except for here, all windows programs, the font is so small that I can hardly read it.
